This invention relates to envelops t" that elass j'n'iniarilv employed in ehureh rollertions. and the objeet ot the invention is to provide an ei'ivelo' 'i of this elass whieh (011lprises two .i-eparate poekets. whieh is formed of a single blank of suitable material. which may be easily and eheaplv manuta'etured, and which will etl'eetiveiy separate one poeket from another.

With the above, and other objects in view, which will appear as the description pro- 'resses. the invention resides in the novel ((zIlstltKYtiOfl and combination ot? parts hereina'l ter 'f'nllv deseribed and claimed.

in the accompanying drawings there has been illustrated a simple and 'ireferred embodiment of the iniprovement, and in which d r a win Figure l is a view of the blank from Form oi the envelop is constructed. Fig. 9 is a similar view o't i a slightly lnmlitied torni. Fig. I] is a longitudinal seetional view taken through the envelop when the parts are pa ted together. Fig. l is a vertical transverse sectional view oi the same. Fig. is a slight n'unlitieation.

The envelop comprises a single sheet of suitable material and is of a substantially reetangular 'ltn'iuation and eoniprises a body 1. a lower 'mrtion 2 which is divided From the said body through the medium of a weakened line 3. and a top portion 4 whieh is al o divided from the bodv 1 through the n'iediuni o'l a weakened line 5. The top portion t is provided with a sealing tlap ('3. the same being divided from the top t by a weakened o: told line 7 and being further provided with side tlaps Ft and 9. the same being divided with weakened or folded lines 10 and It. The portion 2 is summed adjacent one of its longitudinal edges as shown at 12. The {Illlii is adapted to eqver the entire sur't aee of the said i'iiei'uber 9 for a suitable i'liztanee adjacent the edges thereof and terminates with a weakened or told line 3. The upper member 4 is also g'ummed for a suitable distance adjacent its edge opposite that oil the gum 12 upon the member residing Q. Tiles-eating tlaps (3 as well as the side flaps 8 and 9 are also gunnued.

in assembling the parts the l'olded over the body I. the gum l2 adher: mg thereto. The portion l is then folded over the lower portion or member 2 and its gununed surt'aee adhesivelv eonneets with the said member 2. This provides a pair of separate poekets H and 15. \Yhenit is desired to seal the poekets the side tlaps 8 and i) are pasted over the body 1 and the sealing (tap it is brought over the side flaps as well as the outer fare of the body .1. and secured thereto.

In Fin. 2 there has been illustrated a slight na-difieation. The bodv'flG is provided with a lower portion 17 and a top portion 18 both of the said portions being divided t'ron'i thebodv through the medium of weakened lines. The body is e'uuuned adjneent one of its ends as at 1.9 and the upper portion 18 is also gumined adjacent its edge opposite thatiol'fthe gunnned portion 1'.) of the hodv as at 20. The portion 18 is provided with gluinned side llaps 22 and 23, the same being: di\ided from the said member 18 through the medium of weakened lines 524-. The upper edge of the member 18 is also grununed as at 21. velop the part it) is folded upon its weakened line over the bodv '1 t and is connected therewith by the gum 19. The portion 18 is folded over the portion 19- and is secured thereto by the gum 20 and the $111111 21. This leaves two poekels whieh may be readily e osed by the unnned flaps 2:? and 23 when desi red.

in Fig. 5 there has been illustrator. a still further modified form. In this figure the lower flap 2' has one of its longitudinal edees gunnned as at 25. and the fare of the said member 2 provided with a strip of gum 26 arranged a suitable distauee from the strip of Qlllll 25. The divide otherwise is (-onstrueted sin'iilar to that deseribed in eonneetion with the other figures of the d ra win g.

liv ret'erenee to Fig. 3 and to the lines a a and thereon it will be noted by severing; the envelop onthese lines access to either or both of the pockets may be obtained.

Having thus (fleseribedtht i invention. what l claim as new is An envelop for the purpose set forth, eomlower tlap 2 in "folding the en-' por- tion being al s'o provided for asuitable distancead'jacent its longitudinal edge op osite the said edge of the lower portion 'wlth 10 a coating-of gum, th'ej said second member being provided with 'gummed side flaps end a giunmedseal-in g fia'p, the lower end-'belng adapted to be folded over-the body'and to "have its gumlne 15 nectlng the stud (1 portion .adhesively com "end with the body at one end .then';eof, the u-ppe end I portion being adapted to be folded overthe lower end portion and to have'its -gur'r1med's11rface adhe sively connected'.to'thefree side'of the saidlower end to providealpair ofTpocketg-said 2 .flaps adaptedlto be folded'overtand adhesively connected with he body and the sealing flap. adapted to 'be folded over and'adhesi-vely connected with the body.
